Gurgaon II Wastewater Treatment Plant, Gurugram, Haryana

Gurgaon II is a wastewater treatment plant located in Sector 72, Gurugram, Haryana, India. It serves a population of about 73,744 people, contributing to the sanitation infrastructure of one of India's fastest-growing urban centers. The plant is operational and plays a key role in managing domestic wastewater from the city. As a medium-sized agglomeration, the plant operates under India's environmental regulations, including the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1974, and the National Green Tribunal guidelines. These frameworks mandate appropriate treatment levels to protect water quality. Plants of this scale in India typically employ secondary treatment technologies such as activated sludge or sequencing batch reactors. The treated effluent from Gurgaon II is discharged into local water bodies that eventually drain into the Yamuna River, a major tributary of the Ganges. The Yamuna River basin supports diverse aquatic life and provides water for irrigation and drinking downstream. Proper treatment at this plant helps reduce pollution loads entering the river system, benefiting both ecological health and human communities.

The plant's treated effluent flows into local drains that ultimately reach the Yamuna River, a key tributary of the Ganges. The Yamuna basin is ecologically significant, supporting diverse aquatic species and providing water for millions of people. Downstream, the river passes through densely populated areas and agricultural regions, making pollution control critical for public health and ecosystem integrity.
